I'll Walk Beside You
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Heartwarming WWII-Era Comic Postcard Step back in time to the heart of the 1940s with this charming WWII-era comic postcard, titled "I'll Walk Beside You." The front of the postcard features an adorable scene of a young girl in a red raincoat and a little boy, both holding an umbrella, as they walk together in the rain. The caption reads, "I'll walk beside you," a poignant reference to the popular love song written by Murray and Lockton in 1939. The tune, which was famously sung by Vera Lynn, became a symbol of hope and comfort during the trying times of World War II. The reverse side of the postcard holds a Prime Ministerial exhortation, reminding the recipient of the unwavering faith and duty required to see the war through to its end. The message reads, "We shall continue steadfast in faith and duty till our task is done." This delightful postcard, published by Raphael Tuck and Sons, showcases the sweet and humorous side of wartime life. The caricatured illustrations of the children, with their innocent expressions and playful attitude, add to the lighthearted feel of the postcard. The scene of the children walking together in the rain, despite the adversity, is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, love and companionship can provide comfort and strength. The postcard, dated 1944, is a testament to the resilience and optimism of the human spirit during the WWII era. With its cute kids, wartime humor, and heartfelt message, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
